Article Abstract

In this research, the vibration damping characteristics of the laminated aluminum sheets (LAS) were evaluated in a sheet specimen and an automotive dash panel and compared with those of the monolithic aluminum sheet (MAS). The LAS was fabricated with two 5xxx series aluminum alloy (AA) sheets (AA5052-O) with a thickness of 0.7 mm by inserting an acryl-based adhesive in between. The automotive dash panels were manufactured by multi-step stamping processes for the LAS and the MAS with a similar thickness. The shaker vibration test in a sheet specimen and the impact hammer test in an automotive dash panel were conducted to measure the frequency response function (FRF) of LAS, compared with those of MAS. The results show that the frequency response function made by the LAS has less noise and fluctuation than that of the MAS in a sheet specimen and an automotive dash panel. The damping ratios in a sheet specimen and an automotive dash panel made by the LAS have higher values than those of the MAS. This proves that the LAS has better vibration damping characteristics and a larger damping effect than the MAS in a sheet specimen and an automotive dash panel.

Natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites are the most widely used materials and preferable in terms of biodegradability, cost production, recyclability, and low density. The main aim of this study is to conduct an experimental investigation on tensile strength and impact strength of palmyra palm leaf stalk fiber (PLSF) and sisal fiber reinforced polymer hybrid composite. The composite material was fabricated using hand lay-up techniques.

Automotive safety devices, such as airbags and seatbelts, are generally designed for optimal performance when occupants adopt a "nominal" upright anatomical sitting position. While a driver's sitting behavior is largely influenced by the requirements of driving, a passenger may adopt any number of non-nominal positions and behaviors. Very few studies have investigated the behaviors that teen and adult passengers actually adopt.

Those in the automotive industry and many researchers have become interested in the development of pedestrian protection systems in recent years. In particular, vision-based methods for predicting pedestrian intentions are now being actively studied to improve the performance of pedestrian protection systems. In this paper, we propose a vision-based system that can detect pedestrians using an on-dash camera in the car, and can then analyze their movements to determine the probability of collision.

The formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on the CH potential energy surface involved in the reactions of a phenyl radical (CH) with -3-penten-1-yne (-CH[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CH-CH, referred to as CH) and its three radicals (CH[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-Ċ[double bond, length as m-dash]CH-CH, CH[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-CH[double bond, length as m-dash]Ċ-CH, and -CH[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CH-ĊH, referred to as the C-, C-, and C-radicals with the same chemical components, CH) assisted by H atoms is investigated by performing combined density functional theory (DFT) and calculations. Five potential pathways for the formation of PAHs have been explored in detail: Pathways I-II correspond to the reaction of CH with CH at the C and C position, and Pathways III-V involve the reaction of CH with the C-, C-, and C-radicals with the assistance of H atoms. The initial association of CH with CH or CH is found to be highly exothermic with only minor barriers (1.
